Here's a Valentine's Day option: a dessert bar and homemade candy service that will win over any chocolate lover, with a concert by Ann and Phil Case.
It all takes place at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 14, in the town hall as part of the continuing Town Hall Concert Series. The program is free and donations are accepted.
According to Wendy Chappell-Dick, "Decadent delights and sweet treats will be offered for guests by "just a little bit moor..." This local catering/decorating company will have a full buffet-styled choosing of home-made sweets for "Chocolate Lover's Only." From the simple to the sublime, all things chocolate will be available to enjoy during the concert or beautifully boxed to take home to your Valentine."
PerformersAnn and Phil Case have been singing and playing music together since 1990. They specialize in singing old-time Appalachian duets, old-fashioned parlor songs and Depression-era tunes as well as performing old-time instrumental duets.
"Ann sings with a rare natural sweetness and plays back-up guitar and fiddle. Phil plays guitar, clawhammer banjo, mandolin and harmonica, and provides harmony vocals. Their sound draws upon the influences of the Carter Family and their contemporaries, early country blues, ragtime, and traditional ballad singing," said Chappell-Dick.
The couple has recorded four CDs in just over 10 years: The Springtime of Life, Never Grow Old, Why Should We Be Lonely?and The Old Step-Stone.
The favorable reviews they have received in magazines such as Bluegrass Unlimited, Dirty Linen, Tradition, and Sing Out! have earned them a listing in the Music Hound Folk buyer's guide, as well as a feature article in the Summer 2004 issue of The Old-Time Herald.
